Condition Description: VG - drum is overall very good condition. No extra holes or modifications. Nickel hardware 100% complete and original, complete with nothing missing. Wrap is original, early style Black Diamond pearl with minor fading but no cracks or splits. The top edge of wrap is not smooth to edge but inset a bit from the edge but top head will completely cover this. Batter re-ring is tight to shell, resonant re-ring has some separation as pictured. Still structurally sound and nothing loose but could be glued and clamped to repair but fully playable as is. Sounds incredible
